To be considered as a foster, you must:

  • Be 18 years of age or older.

  • If you rent your home, you are responsible for confirming approval, restrictions, and any financial responsibility from your landlord to foster animal.

  • Have all animals in the home (age 6 months or older) spayed or neutered, unless there are medical or extenuating reasons for not doing so.

  • Have all animals in the home up-to-date on vaccinations.

  • Agree to have a home visit (either virtually or in-person) done by one of our volunteers. The volunteer will need to see the areas of the home where the animal will be allowed and also visit with family members and current pets
